That question is usually the first question we receive from potential clients.. It is usually followed by, “Why can’t we just hire a security guard?”.

Security guards can be an effective deterrent against crime, but in most cases that is all a security guard can do is act as a deterrent. While security guards do receive training for their positions their training courses are designed to enable them to handle the situations with confidence, until police of other emergency officials arrive.

Sworn police officers are always “on-duty” which means they can immediately take action against a suspect. They don’t have to call the police, because they are the police.

On-Target Security hires only sworn police officers that are highly trained professionals. If an emergency were to happen at your event, our uniformed or plain clothes officers will be able to react swiftly to deal with the situation.
